In addition to enhancing situational awareness for first responders and helping command center staff stay current on field updates, news reports and changing weather conditions, AV capabilities also assist state, city and county government agencies by enabling presentations that bring greater transparency to city council meetings; supporting lawyers, judges, juries and galleries in courtrooms; and enhancing employee training. Networked AV possess the needed foundation to meet evolving digital demands in government while avoiding the costs and complexities of the past.
